Max Weber fellows lecture series
Date: Thursday 11 March 2010
Time: 6-7pm
Venue: Room 2.08, New Academic Building
Speaker: Gianluigi Fioriglio
Personal health information is hard to protect, especially on line. The information flow is constantly growing in the health sector, where electronic records can be made available not only to health care professionals and institutions, but also to patients. How is it possible to strike a balance between confidentiality and sharing? How can fundamental rights such as privacy and health be protected? The lecture examines the risks and opportunities related to the electronic processing of health information, taking into account the main legal issues.
Gianluigi Fioriglio is Max Weber Fellow in History and Civilization, European University Institute (EUI), Florence. Seven Max Weber Fellows from the EUI will visit LSE March 8th - 11th to give a series of talks as part of a joint initiative by APD, Academic and Professional Development division.
This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis. For more information contact Nick Byrne, n.byrne@lse.ac.uk|.
